Verified Reviews for Eglu Cube^® - Large Chicken Coops with Runs

Great design, stays cool in the heat and warm in the cold. Chickens took right to it.

Great product - little hard to put together as one person even though I know it said two people but that was not an option for me.

We bought this last summer after giving up with wood and red mites. Best purchase we ever made for our ladies. Originally housed 5 Orpingtons, but unfortunately, after a daytime fox attack on them free ranging, we are left with only 1, who is still quite poorly. The eglu has now shown another quality. Our little Goldie, still in shock, will not eat or drink or come out of the coop. We can take the back off, sit next to her, and tempt her with some food and water. It is slowly working. I could never do this with my old wooden house. When she has recovered we will be getting her some friends, increasing the run size and keeping them all safely out of harms way. Thank you Omlet.

We had our gardener help us design a box with a net under it covered in soil to prevent rats. Excited to have it up and running. The new chickens are adjusting. The coop is easy to use and my kid loves being able to help.

I’ve been wanting chickens for a while, but before I bought some, I wanted to be ready. I looked at so many different coops, and took a lot of things into consideration. I wanted something that would stand up to different weather, would be long lasting and would keep my chickens safe from predators ( I live by a preserve). The eglu cube seemed like the perfect choice. The coop itself is easy to put together, the run takes some patience. My chickens have been happy and it’s easy to clean. I do see signs of predators getting close to the coop, but the girls have been safe. I’m really happy with my purchase and look forward to building onto it.

The Eglu structure is an excellent design and convenient. The direction are a bit disjointed! Especially when it comes to the wire walls. As for the fence aspect, the plastic clips are not that good and often break easily, especially the double clips. I resorted to use zip ties for everything. So the coop house is great the cage not very good.

Whilst this took a good few hours with two of us putting it together it's very well made and all areas are easily accessible. I have a bad back and leaning into the old coop to clean it was a problem. With this house everything pulls out for easy cleaning which is great. It keeps out the rain and the girls took to it straight away. The purple is a bit pink but it still looks good. I reckon this will last infinitely longer than the old wooden house I had.

Great product but the instructions seem to explain easy things in too much detail and leave out important little details like lining things up etc. Overall really happy with the result though and will eventually get over the PTSD from the instructions.

Overall I am very happy with the quality of this large chicken coop. While the instructions leave a bit to be desired my major issue is the design of the run and why it has such large opens in the fence. As to design clipping the run together does not make a very sturdy enclosure. I had to add plenty of zip ties to strength it. Also in the US at least, a raccoon can reach their arms through this fence and grab a hold of chickens because the holes are so big. Because of this I added 1/2" hardware cloth, fencing to the bottom section all around. As to the value overall, very satisfied. Thank you.

Chickens are still very young and don’t sleep in the coop yet. They do love to be in the run during the day. Love the coop, and am very happy with the purchase. Three things though: The little green clips that hold the run together are flimsy at best. They turn white and get stress when being bent into their functional shape. Secondly, I wish there was some sort of heating system incorporated into the coop. Lastly, I keep hearing about the automatics door being available soon. It seems it’s only available outside the US at this point. Not sure why that is.
